Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this system. The transmitter does not
send the same signal twice
to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This will prevent anyone from recording and playing
back the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand
close to your
vehicle and simultaneously press and hold
the LOCK
and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for eight
seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm
' synchronization. If the locks do not cycle, see your
dealer
for service.
Sliding Door
To open the sliding side door, pull the handle toward the
back and slide the door to the rear
until it rests in the
open detent position.
To close the sliding side door,
you must first pull the
door past the open detent position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1.
2.
3.
4.
If you have previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed
to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons
on the universal transmitter
until the red light begins
to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
Hold the end
of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so that
you can still see the red light.
Decide which one of the three channels
you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on
the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing, which could take up
to 90 seconds,
indicates that
the universal transmitter has been
programmed. Release both buttons once
the light
starts
to flash rapidly. If
you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that
you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in
the hand-held transmitter is not dead. If
you still
cannot program
it, rotate the hand-held transmitter
end over end and try again. The universal transmitter
may
not work with older garage door openers that do
not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot program the transmitter after repeated
attempts, consult your
GM dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes
on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the
universal transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.

To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons
until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.
Training a Garage Opener with a “Rolling
Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will
not open, and if your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, your garage door may have
a security feature that changes
the “code” of your garage
door opener every time it is opened or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
“rolling code” feature, press the appropriate button on
the universal transmitter that was programmed. If the
red light flashes rapidly for
one to two seconds, then
turns solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do
the following:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
“Programming
the Transmitter” earlier in this section.

Locate the training button
on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
Press the training button
on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then press it again
to confirm it
was programmed
to the garage door opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
hand-held transmitter to open your garage door.
If you
still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please call
1-800-355-35 15.
Accessories
Accessories for the universal transmitter are available
from
the manufacturer of the unit. If you would like

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With
SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise as
you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust
the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases
the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same
to you as you drive.
If you don’t want to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each detent
on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at a faster rate of speed.
